Default “Spider webbing” in paint question

Any suggestions on how to make my spider webbing cracks look better in my paint (on front and rear bumpers? Seems like a color matched wax would fill in these little cracks. Any recommendations on a decent product?

Thanks

That would be nice to know... I have the same in the 87 front/Rear Bumpers. I'll keep an eye on this one. I've heard the best to do is sand them down, fill, primer and repaint. I did the front bumper that way, still working on the back..

What kind of paint has worked for you? After all, it has to remain very flexible so it will not chip off!

I was told the newer paint (better ones) don't need the flex additive.
And I've never had any luck with the colored waxes-tried twice, best way is like vinnie suggested-but if you decide that's the way you're
gonna go-you might try wet (and I mean wet) sanding it-like color sanding after a new paint job.
